Action minded

I have been needing a visit to a doctor for a while. Just feeling drained and so forth, so today I asked Peter, my boss (best boss I have had yet) to refer me to one.

A few minutes later, a knock came at my door. I was 10 minutes into teaching my second class. Peter said he had to have a word with me and said the doctor was going to Sofia till Monday and if it was an emergency, he was willing to wait till I got there. Did I want to go right now? He could arrange a sub, and Elin, our driver and general helper around the school would drive me. I didnt particularly want to wait till Monday as I have been feeling really dizzy and tired lately, and let's face it, I will do anything to escape teaching that particular class, so I accepted.

15 minutes later I was at the doctors office who happens to be fluent in English. He did some tests, asked a bunch of questions and wrote me a perscription. Then he asked me if I needed money to buy them, which to me is an odd question, but still a thoughtful one. I said no, and asked how much it was for the visit. He refused to charge me.

I need to see him on Tuesday again.

So in a manner of 40 minutes, I got it done. And all because I asked the right man. Peter gets things done, which I suppose is why he has the position he has.

Good timing too because I feel so weak that I think I am going to nod off right here and now.
